• while the meat is cooking heat the oil in a medium sauce pan and add garlic and pepper and sautee for a about 2 mins
• add the adobo sauce and stir
• bring to a simmer and add the raspberries
• stir until the raspberries break down and turn into a sauce
• add the apple cider vinegar, salt and sugar and bring back to a boil
• optional - puree some or all of the sauce and strain out the raspberry seeds (I like to do half so there is still some texture but not too much)

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH RASPBERRY-CHIPOTLE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the pork and marinade in a large resealable plastic bag, refrigerate and marinate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight. Bring the meat to room temperature. Preheat grill to medium-high and cook pork, turning occasionally, until inside temperature reaches 145 degrees. Remove pork, cover with foil and let rest until temperature rises to 150 degrees. Slice pork, serve with warm sauce drizzled on top; garnish with chopped cilantro and fresh raspberries.

SMOKED RASPBERRY-CHIPOTLE PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine 12 ounces of raspberry chipotle sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, garlic salt, and garlic powder.
• Add the pork tenderloin and cover it evenly with the mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate to allow the meat to marinate for 6 to 8 hours. Shorter will work fine if you're low on time.
• Preheat your pellet grill to 425°F. Oil the grill grate with vegetable oil.
• Remove the pork from the marinade and place it on the lower grill grates. Generously pour the marinade onto the pork and discard the rest.
• Smoke for about 30 minutes or until the tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Flip it over about 15 minutes into the cook.
• Once ready, move it to a cutting board and rest for 10 minutes before slicing; serve warm.
• Take the remaining raspberry chipotle sauce or any amount you prefer and warm it in a bowl in the microwave for about 30 seconds on high. Spoon over sliced tenderloin to add more great flavor!
